\textbf{\emph{Our Goals:}} To spark a mass Movement that would not be led by a single individual or a concentrated decision-making organ, but guided by a Platform\Slash{}Manifesto and a set of principles and ethics; a Movement that would not be organized hierarchically, but horizontally (rhizomatically) — with each cell operating independently, but toward the realization of the same Vision.
\textbf{\emph{Our Vision:}}
\begin{itemize}
\item\relax
a transformed Armenia as a Federated Polity of Directly-Democratic Hamainqs and Unions as its political structure;
\item\relax
where Socialist and Communitarian social values of Solidarity and Respect prevail;
\item\relax
where worker-owned cooperative, collectivist and syndicalist structures dominate the economy (though don’t exclude other economic and financial formations);
\item\relax
where the production is sustainable, environmentally friendly and socially just;
\item\relax
where military is professional and voluntary (fedayeen) and precluded from interveening in political life;
\item\relax
where culture and art thrive;
\item\relax
where people are proud of their political lifestyle;
\item\relax
and where the concept of “Coming to Power” looses its conventional meaning.
\end{itemize}
\emph{\textbf{Our Purpose and Plan of Action is\dots{}}}
\begin{itemize}
\item\relax
To spread the political philosophies and culture of Liberty, Libertarian-Socialism, Direct-Democracy, Anarcho-Syndicalism, Anarcho-Communism, Radical-Politics, Anti-Globalism, Communitarianism throughout the Diaspora and the region of Caucasus.
\item\relax
To become the focal point for like-minded persons (not necessarily anarcho-syndicalist) in the Diaspora, Armenia and Caucasus for efficient information and action coordination; and to construct a Cyber-Kibbutz (or Anarcho-Polis or HAMAKERT). Internet and modern technology allows for such a federation of widely dispersed network to function steadily.
\item\relax
To initiate a dialogue that is on a level of solidarity, intellectualism, critical thinking, respect and mutual aid.
\item\relax
To forge collaborative links with organizations and individuals in the Diaspora who are working towards the same goals (Liberty, Democracy, Civil Society, Self-Governance, Social Justice, economic Empowerment, etc)
\item\relax
To promote principles of Solidarity, Peace, non-Violence, Respect, Diversity and Equality.
\item\relax
To resist militarization, militarism and barbarism (from all sides); and instead to invite culture and dialogue.
\item\relax
To resist Fascism in all of its manifestations (Racism, Tseghakronutyun).
\item\relax
To resist violent coups
\item\relax
To grow strong (financially and in terms of popularity) while in Diaspora or Exile.
\item\relax
To support organizations and individuals in the region who advocate liberalization of Democratic processes and values in Caucasus.
\item\relax
To forge strong links with Armenian scientific research community, who would later help with the Know-How.
\item\relax
To forge strong links with intellectuals, artists and writers (and generally people of culture) across the Diaspora and Caucasus
\item\relax
To advocate constitutional restructuring in favor of Direct-Democracy (near-Swiss-model) and the dissemination of centralized and concentrated powers of the RA Government to Hamainqs (communes)
\item\relax
To initiate the HAMAKERT (similar to Kibbutz) program. After the negotiations with the government, establishing the first Hamakert, which will be populated by volunteers. Later: selecting the initial set of villages, where the dwellers would agree to join such a program. The communally owned means of production, collective benefit\Slash{}loss from the enterprises and Directly Democratic decision making on the direction of the Hamainq.
\item\relax
To initiate and support Youth, Student and Volunteer programs which aim to show the beauties of meaningful Labour, being connected to the land, Direct-Decocratic participation in politics, Engagedness and Authenicity of experience.
\item\relax
To finance, assist and Empower agrarian and industrial enterprises which are based on collectivist ownership and control (directly-democratic cooperatives and syndicates). And to this end, at the initial stage, to set up a Credit Union, which would later grow into a COOPERATIVE BANK with a vast customer base, and which would especially invest in projects that are environmentally friendly and ones that have a future in 21 century (e.g.: alternative energy).
\item\relax
To establish the initial Confederation of Hamainqs for the purposes of economical mutual aid and effective organization of the movement as it grows.
\item\relax
To see growth of the movement by deed and example. More and more Hamainqs join the movement. The movement Gains as many as possible Council seats and Hamainqapet Seats.
\item\relax
To spark a mass Movement that would not be led by a single individual or a concentrated decision-making organ, but guided by a Platform\Slash{}Manifesto and a set of principles and ethics; a Movement that would not be organized hierarchically, but horizontally (rhizomatically) — with each cell operating independently, but toward the same set of goals.
\item\relax
To work (whether through parliament or mass-movement) toward the realization of a vision of a transformed Armenia as a Federated Polity of Directly-Democratic Hamainqs and Unions as its political structure; where Communitarian and Socialist social values prevail; where worker-owned cooperative, collectivist and syndicalist structures dominate the economy; where the production is sustainable, environmentally friendly and socially just; where culture and art thrive; where people are proud of their political lifestyle; and where the concept of “Coming to Power” looses its conventional meaning.
